BTK Inhibitors: Hypertension and Atrial Fibrillation

Hypertension

• Risks include cardiac risk factors, acute infections, prior history of AF

• Educate patient on risk for AF and what to do in the event of abnormal heart rhythm

• AF is not an absolute contraindication to continuing BTK inhibitors

• Be cautious of drug interactions when managing AF (i.e., diltiazem and CYP3A4)

• Anticoagulation can be used but should be used with caution

• Avoid vitamin K antagonists

• If AF persists, consider the risks and benefits of treatment and dose modification

Atrial fibrillation (AF)

• Risks include cardiac risk factors, prior history of hypertension

• Monitor blood pressure throughout treatment

• Hypertension is not an absolute indication to discontinue BTK inhibitors

• Adequate management of hypertension from BTK inhibitors mitigates cardiovascular events

• If hypertension is persistent or life threatening, consider risks and benefits of treatment and dose modification

Aggregation, adhesion, andstable thrombus formation

CLEC-2

GPIb

• BTK, SFK (src family kinases), and TEC are involved in several platelet activation and adhesion functions:

• GPVI, CLEC-2, GPIb, integrin αIIbβ3

• TEC compensates when BTK is inhibited/dysfunctional

• BTK inhibition alone leads to mildly diminished platelet activation

• Blocking both BTK and TEC leads to significant platelet inhibition, platelet aggregation, and thrombus stability

Reversible impact on platelet aggregation within 1 week of discontinuation

Dose reduction may mitigate platelet aggregation and improve bruising

Recommend holding BTK inhibitor prior to and after invasive procedures for 3 (minor) to 7 days (major)

Blood thinner or antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor) increase bleeding risk

Anticoagulants increase bleeding risk by impacting multiple hemostatic pathways

Anticoagulants are not contraindications

Avoid concurrent vitamin K antagonists

Management

PneumonitisInfection

Provide PJP prophylaxis during treatment

Clinical and laboratory monitoring for CMV infection is recommended in patients with history of CMV infection or positive CMV serology at the start of treatment

Suspected infection, CMV viremia/infection, or PJP infection: interrupt therapy until infection has resolved. Permanent discontinuation if PJP infection is confirmed, consider permanent discontinuation for all infections.

Pneumonitis: Time to onset ranged from < 1 to 15 months

Monitor for pulmonary symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, hypoxia, interstitial infiltrates on a radiologic exam, or a decline by more than 5% in oxygen saturation

Discontinue therapy with any severity symptomatic pneumonitis and initiate appropriate treatment with corticosteroids

• Monitor BP pre- and post-dose

• BP decline starting 2 hours post-infusion but can remain elevated for 6-8 hours

• Optimal BP control should be achieved before starting each infusion

Pre-dose BP ≥ 150/90 mmHg

• Withhold until BP is < 150/90 mmHg based on 2 consecutive BP measurements at least 15 minutes apart

Post-dose BP≥ 150/90 mmHg

(non-life-threatening)

• If antihypertensive is not required, continue at previous dose

• If antihypertensive is required,* consider dose reduction

• Discontinue therapy if BP remains high (> 150/90 mmHg) despite antihypertensive

Post-dose elevated BP (life threatening)

• Permanently discontinue

ManagementTransient hypertension

*Decision to treat should be individualized on the basis of several factors, including baseline BP, severity of BP elevation, and pre-existing cardiovascular risk (diabetes, chronic kidney disease) or coronary vascular disease.

If treating during the infusion, short-acting antihypertensives should be used
